New Website for Made In The U.S.A.
Ciao darling,
In the past few months many start up entrepreneurs have reached out to me randomly asking me for factory names and suppliers to start their fashion line. Although I appreciate the interest in my knowledge, nothing is for free, or is it? When a client hires me they get all my knowledge as part of the consulting or design fee. It took me over 10 years to learn everything there is to know about building a handbag line, so why should I give it out for free? Besides, I need to pay my rent and eat just like everyone else. (But I guess everyone thinks that I don't need to eat or pay rent because they ask me for free advise-LOL)
Fortunately there is a new website which lists many USA based factories in the fashion industry that I would like to share with those of you who tend to contact me to get my contacts. This website is free to sign up and makes a great resource for a start up brand in the fashion industry.
The website is www.makersrow.com
Now that you have found a factory to make your handbags, hats or apparel line, feel free to contact me for design help. I mainly specialize in making handbags and fashion accessories in Asia, so that is another animal. This website specializes in "Made in the U.S.A." which is amazing!
What a great resource! So instead of emailing me about who my factories are, check out this website!
Happy Designing!
